November 4, 161 AD, Calradia.

In Korau, the capital of the Kingdom of New Vadia, the six kings of Calradia gathered here to hold a swearing-in meeting against Swadia.

On the high platform, Xie Feng, the "Heaven-Defying Knight" who was the commander-in-chief of the Six Kingdoms, stood in the center of the high platform. On the left and right sides in front of him, the kings of the Six Kingdoms stood in two rows. Each of the seven held a bright silver wine glass in their hands.

, the transparent liquid in the cup is a peerless wine.

Under the high platform, there were crowds of people rubbing shoulders with each other. They included local residents of Virginia, as well as foreign tourists who came here to visit. The whole of Koolau once again showed a spectacular scene of empty streets.

In less than two months, Kulaw has experienced three such overcrowded events. The first time was Xie Feng's return, the second time was the anti-war demonstration, and the third time was this swearing-in meeting. Every time

, are all directly related to Xie Feng. One can imagine how much shock Xie Feng’s existence has brought to this town, this country and even this continent!

Facing the tens of millions of people below, Xie Feng first shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Soon, the originally bustling crowd gradually became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Xie Feng's next speech.

"Everyone!" Xie Feng said: "Today is the swearing-in meeting for our Six Nations Alliance of Calradia Continent to fight against the pseudo-Svadia!" Because of Harraus, Xie Feng said that Charlotte is the representative of

Swadia is "pseudo-Swadia".

Xie Feng continued: "Since Charlotte forced King Harraus to take power, he has provoked countless wars, and even more ambitiously wants to annex the entire continent. Faced with such a provocation, can we, the people of Virginia, endure it? No.

Can the Germans tolerate it? Can the Kugits tolerate it? Can the Salanders and Rhodoks tolerate it?"

"No!" The crowd in the audience responded to Xie Feng's words cooperatively.

"Very good!" Xie Feng shouted. It seems that everyone's anti-war intentions are no longer so strong, at least they have begun to care about whether their country will be annexed.

So Xie Feng continued: "Perhaps, many of you still think that it is stupid for us to use war to prevent war, or at least it is inappropriate. But, I am here to tell you that our war

, the purpose is not only to prevent war, but also for civilization! What is civilization? Civilization in our Calradia, simply put, the Nords have a Nord family, and the Vaegians have a Vaegian home.

,Everyone of each of our ethnic groups has his own home, his own habitat, his own culture, and his own customs, and other ethnic groups may not agree with the above, but they must respect it, which makes each of us different.

People of all ethnic groups can live confidently in Calradia. I am not opposed to unification. I am worried about how people of all ethnic groups will be treated after unification. Unification itself is not difficult, as long as there are enough

With an army and enough strength, this can be achieved in a very short period of time. However, after unification, mediating and improving relations between various ethnic groups is not something that can be achieved overnight. When a certain ethnic group dominates the rule of the entire continent

, the rest of the ethnic groups will be reduced to inferior ethnic groups, no matter which ethnic group this dominant nation is, they will do this - even if we Vaegians unified the continent, don’t you think that you are better than Swadia?

Are people superior? What is civilization? Civilization means that everyone is equal, does not look down on each other, and can live in harmony and respect each other. However, such a higher civilization is not something we can achieve now. I can even assert that in

In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, it will be impossible to achieve such a high civilization! However, we can take a step back and pursue a lower civilization - that is, at least on the surface everyone still seems to be equal, even if

Because of some scruples. How can we achieve such a low-level civilization? It’s very simple, as I just said, every nation has its own home, and this home is the country. Because there is Kugit

The existence of the Khanate, so the Kugits are not afraid of being bullied by our Vigia people in our country of Vigia, because their own country can protect them. Because of the existence of the Rhodok Kingdom, the Swadi people in the past

Asia can no longer impose heavy taxes on the people of the Rhodok Mountains, because they have established their own country to protect themselves. Now, we are launching a war not only to fight against Swadia, but also to protect each of our homes.

Protect us all!"

After Xie Feng took a breath, he continued: "Four years ago, when I followed King Wilson to restore the country, King Wilson once asked me: 'What is the war for?' I said at the time: 'War is

In order to create a new civilized country, in order to create a world where everyone is equal and inhabited by those who are capable, in order for everyone in Virginia to have a permanent career and not cry out for hunger or cold. Titles are no longer hereditary and honorary.

You have to fight for it on your own. No one is born a noble, and no one is born a slave. Everyone is born fair, and everyone has equal dignity. Such a world is civilization.'

Four years have passed, and my comrades have sacrificed their lives one after another. I have wandered back from a foreign land, and the word war is completely different to me. Today, if I were to ask what the war is for, I would say: to seek civilization.

Happiness has to go through the pain of civilization. This pain is called war!"

After saying that, Xie Feng raised the wine glass in his hand high and shouted to the sky: "Six kings, now the pseudo-Svadia cavalry has spread all over the continent, and our civilization is also in danger. Everyone, with the help of each of you,

The limited power in our hands creates infinite possibilities. We cooperate, we stand side by side, and we fight for civilization - to wipe out powerful enemies and protect our civilization!"

"Sweep out the powerful enemies and protect our civilization!" The kings of the six countries echoed in unison, and then followed Xie Feng to raise their wine glasses and drink the wine in one gulp.

"Bang!" After the wine was gone, the cups were smashed to pieces on the spot.

The whole place erupted in enthusiastic shouts.

"Report!"

At this moment, a person's voice sounded from the background.

Xie Feng turned around and saw a soldier dressed as a Nord scout standing in the background, saluting Xie Feng from a distance.

Xie Feng saw that the swearing-in ceremony was almost over, so he walked over, frowned and asked: "What's the matter?" If someone wanted to break into the backstage, they would be intercepted by the soldiers guarding the backstage. This Nord dressed as a scout

Since the person can pass, it means that his identity has been verified correctly and he is indeed a scout - it also means that he must have military aspirations.

The scout said to Xie Feng: "Soldiers from Swadia appeared near Rudaburg and Jelborg Castle, with the intention of attacking the city." The scout's words were neat and direct, without any delay. He used the shortest words to convey the meaning.

Having expressed everything, he was obviously a trained and regular scout.

Xie Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "Svadia is going to attack Rudaburg and Jelborg Castle?" Because Xie Feng's factory in Wayesegi, the Kingdom of Nord has been

The defense strength of these two castles has been strengthened. Since the large-scale war began in Swadia, the Kingdom of Nord has once again strengthened the defense of the two castles on the front line. Therefore, Xie Feng actually wanted to deal with Swadia.

Breaking through the Nordic Kingdom's defense line head-on was quite unexpected.

The scout said: "Since Rudaburg and Jelborg Fort have always been heavily guarded, the lords all thought that Swadia's move was just a feint attack to attract attention to achieve other goals, so they did not panic too much. But for the sake of

For safety reasons, I will send a villain to inform the marshal immediately!"

After hearing this, Xie Feng said: "That's right. If I were Charlotte, I wouldn't be stupid enough to attack these two castles... Wait." Xie Feng suddenly remembered the "doubt" that Dante had mentioned not long ago.

"Believe in suspicion". The more the other party does something very correct, the more likely it is to be false. Of course, the other party may also seize on this mentality of yours and do it true instead. Since you cannot know what part of your thinking the other party has considered.

One step, so no corresponding countermeasures can be made, which is called "doubt within doubt". There are countless similar "doubts within doubt" in history. The more representative one is written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where Cao Cao defeated Chibi.

When Huarong Road was escaping, there were two roads ahead. One was very quiet and seemed safe, while the other had fireworks in the distance and vague flags. Which road is safe? Is it really as safe as it seems on the surface?

, or it is just the opposite to confuse Cao Cao, or even the opposite and then the opposite, so that Cao Cao can be clever but be misled by his cleverness.

Now, Swadia actually attacks Jelborg and Rudaburg. This is obviously a very stupid thing. Under normal circumstances, it is probably a feint attack with another purpose. But it may also be that Charlotte has caught her.

This mentality made the two castles paralyzed and they actually captured them. It is also possible that Charlotte seized on this mentality of hers and deceived the army before realizing that it was a real feint attack.

What exactly is Charlotte going to do this time?

Just as Xie Feng was considering whether to call Lyman to discuss it, suddenly a hurried cry sounded from the distance: "Get out of the way...get out of the way! Emergency military situation!"

I saw a soldier riding a fast horse, galloping through the streets of Kurao, rushing towards the venue. People nearby retreated and became chaotic.

Xie Feng was unhappy. How could he tolerate people running horses in the city? What were the city gate guards doing?

Huh, that's not right. The soldier on horseback was also dressed as a Nord scout, and his whole body seemed to have been burned a lot, and was completely black, with two arrows stuck behind him.

The injured scout ran rampant and came to the bottom of the high platform. He stopped his horse and shouted: "Where is Marshal Xie Feng?"

Xie Feng took a few steps forward and shouted: "I am it!"

The scout didn't have time to change his temper, and immediately shouted: "Rudaburg is about to fall, go to the rescue quickly..." Just after he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell from his horse.

Xie Feng was shocked and immediately jumped off the high platform and walked towards the scout in his hand.

When he was about to approach, Xie Feng became vigilant and shouted to the soldier responsible for maintaining order at the scene who was stunned at the scene: "You, go and see what happened to him."

The soldier woke up immediately when Xie Feng shouted. He walked forward and knelt down to check on the injured scout. After a while, he said: "It must have been that he was seriously injured and excited, so he passed out... huh? There was also something hanging on his waist."

The Nord Scout's brand name... needs to be treated as soon as possible."

At this time, the previous scout's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How... how is it possible? Are you really attacking the city?"

Xie Feng sighed and said: "Now, I have to go over and have a look no matter what..." The original plan of Xie Feng and the kings of the six countries was that after the swearing-in meeting, Xie Feng would lead the main force to attack Sri Lanka from the south to Riwadin.

Wadia occupied the center of the lower continent, Dehreem, and cut off the internal connections and supplies between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Swadia army in Kugit. The kings of the six countries, except Haraus, followed Xie Feng and began to lobby.

Except for the lords of Swadia, the rest have returned to their own countries and led their own soldiers to cooperate with the actions of Xie Feng's large army, or to harass the Swadia border. Now it seems that this big operation may have to be slowed down for a while.

Wait a minute - Xie Feng's factory is in Wayeseji. If those two castles fall, then Wayeseji's situation will be quite critical. He must go there in person to feel relieved.

At this time, Lyman suddenly appeared next to Xie Feng and asked, "Are you going?" Apparently Lyman saw what Xie Feng was thinking.

Xie Feng nodded and said, "What do you mean?"

Lyman shrugged indifferently and said: "I don't care, but it is safer to go and take a look. Such a big move by Swadia this time must have been approved by Charlotte, or it was led by Charlotte

I planned this incident. If this is the case, it means that Charlotte has seen through my plan. Half a month... is not short, nor is it long. In terms of resourcefulness, Charlotte is also very good.

You are still qualified to be my opponent."

Xie Feng couldn't help but ask: "What is your plan? Also, what happened to Annabel and the four of them?"
